"This service has been designed to offer convenience to customers across the country, of having their purchases delivered to them the very next day of ordering. Going forward, we will be continuously working with our sellers and brand partners to make additional assortment of products available for next day delivery service." said Jayant Sood, chief customer experience officer at Snapdeal.

The firm had invested Rs 36 crore in November last year to build its captive logistics unit, Vulcan Express, which now processes majority of Snapdeal's orders and operates a network of 69 fulfillment centres.

The next-day deliveries will be powered by Vulcan as well as other third party logistics partners of the online company Snapdeal.

Snapdeal is also piloting a plug-and-play service for small regional partners to integrate their API with Snapdeal's technology framework.
